By comparison, the Carter administration is starting to look like a model of manly strength, courage and patriotism.
All new administrations stumble a bit as theyseek their footing. But President Obama’s foreign-policy botches haveset new records for instant incompetence.
Contrary to left-wing myths, I wasn’t a fan of the Bushadministration. (I called for Donald Rumsfeld to get the boot inmid-2001.) But fair’s fair. Despite his many faults, Bush sought to dogood. Obama just wants to look good.
Vice President Dick Cheney was arrogant. Vice President Joe Biden is arrogant and stupid. Take your pick.
Don’t worry about the new administration’s ideology. Worry about its terrifying naivete.
Consider a sampling of the goofs O and his crew have made in just two months:
China: Secretary of StateHillary Clinton (you know that gal married to the Saudi hireling)crawled to Beijing to tell the party bosses that human rights don’tmatter. Our “relationship” is more important than freedom and humandignity.
Beijing’s response? A staged military confrontation with an unarmedUS Navy vessel; continued screw-America currency cheating; a renewedcrackdown on dissidents and, yesterday, a call for a new globalcurrency to replace the dollar.
Thanks, Hill. You’re a sweetheart.
Pakistan: With viral corruption throughout andIslamist fanatics sweeping half of its territory, Pakistan’s comingapart. Its Dem-adored prez tries to ban opposition parties and gut thejudiciary. It has nukes and seethes with hatred of America. AndIslamabad controls our primary supply route into Afghanistan, using itas an extortion tool.
Obama’s response? Billions in new aid for Pak pols to pocket. We’d be better off handing the money to AIG to pay out more bonuses.
